That game, and the one against the Kings, was a pure example of puck luck going against us.

The Panthers' goals came from poor defensive play, not bad luck:
Gardiner chasing the puck leads to Thomas' goal.
Schenn turning at the offensive blueline leads to Fleischmann's goal.
Kessel and Lupul failing to get the puck out of the zone leads to Gudbranson's goal.
Crabb collapses to the slot instead of pressuring point, leads to Garrison's goal.

Versteeg's goal was lucky but that was the only one, the others can all be explained by defensive lapses.

Although I agree we should be tighter defensively but the goalies should have had majority of those goals...its not a good hting to see.

I'm sure Ward will play his usual hall of famer game against the Leafs tonight. Just for once in Raleigh it might be good for the Leafs to actually come out to play in the first five minutes and not stand around like pylons until they give the Canes the early lead. Can't see that happening though. Is there a team in the league that comes out flatter at the start of every game than these guys do after Ronnie's inspirational pre-game speech?

Even so, that shot looked very stoppable. James was very leaky on that one.

Ya let them play with "potential" instead of playing the goalie that gives them the best chance of winning the game. The only thing that Reimer is going to show is a 5 hole wider than the girls I went to high school with, and a glove hand that's softer than melted butter. I mean really, when is this Reimer experiment going to end? Ship him out for a 3rd and let the Monster, you know, the goalie who has actually proved something, play.
